Tobacco Free Colleges & Universities

A tobacco free campus policy prohibits smoking and the use of tobacco products everywhere on the property.

With thoughtful planning and communication, universities can experience a smooth policy transition and experience many positive outcomes:

Students, staff, and faculty have more incentive to quit tobacco and their efforts are more successful.
Exposure to secondhand smoke is completely eliminated on the property.
A safe and healthy environment for everyone who comes to your campus.
Students, staff, and faculty are healthier with fewer absences.
Increased work productivity when students, staff, and faculty are no longer taking multiple breaks to smoke.
More attractive grounds when people are not congregating to smoke and tobacco litter is eliminated.
Increased support for other initiatives that decrease tobacco use and protect health.
